After leading a Women’s March during the Sundance Film Festival, talkshow host Chelsea Handler sat down with Variety‘s Elizabeth Wagmeister for an interview.

During the chat, she was asked if she would ever interview Donald Trump. She’s already told other outlets she would never do that, but this time, the follow-up question was whether she’d ever consider Melania Trump.

“Melania? To talk about what? She can barely speak English,” she quipped.

The largest issue is whether the relationship between Trump and the media can continue this way and for how long. An article at State of the Nation maintains that the mainstream media must be shut down because it is not going to change:

Webmaster's Commentary:

Further down on the page is CNN's Giga-pixel image of Trump's inauguration speech, and it is clear that the White House was telling the truth about the size of the crowd while the corporate media was once again lying.

The British press are in full hysteria propaganda mode when it comes to demonising our new greatest threat on planet earth; not climate change, a global pandemic, international terrorism, or America’s new foe in the South China Sea – but Russia.

The Telegraph 31/12/16: “Systemic, relentless, predatory’ Russian cyber threat to US power grid exposed as malware found on major electricity company computer.”

No one hates fake news and fact-free conspiracy theories more than I do, but the sad truth is that the mainstream press has opened the door to such fantasies by losing the confidence of the American people and becoming little more than the mouthpiece for the Establishment, which spins its own self-serving narratives and tells its own lies.

Rather than acting as a watchdog against these deceptions, the Times and its mainstream fellow-travelers have transformed themselves into little more than the Establishment’s apologists and propagandists.

If Iraq is the “enemy,” we are told wild tales about how Iraq’s non-existent WMD is a danger to us all. If Syria is in Washington’s crosshairs, we are given a one-sided account of what’s happening there, black hats for the “regime” and white hats for the “rebels”?

However, of all the – independently verifiable – facts and figures provided by RT to the journalist, not a single one, nor even a fragment of a comment, was actually included in the article that appeared in today’s issue of the magazine.

Instead, the Economist writes that “RT has a clever way with numbers. Its ““audience” of 550m refers to the number of people who can access its channel, not those who actually watch it. RT has never released the latter figure…”

First of all, can we please pause and reflect for a minute on the sheer inanity of passing off a 5-year-old report as something reflecting the current state of affairs, including audience? Particularly in the world of media, where revolutionary changes take place in a much shorter time span.

Katie Rich, a writer from an NBC comedy program, was suspended from the show after mocking Donald Trump’s son Barron on Twitter, calling the 10-year-old a “homeschool shooter.” Social media erupted in anger, and a petition to fire her was launched.

Rich, a writer for the popular American sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live, posted the scandalous tweet on Friday, during the inauguration of Donald Trump.

For some reason this page does not work on Chrome, but you can see it in Firefox or Explorer. But it makes it clear that the Reuter's picture showing an empty mall was indeed deceptive and there was a huge crowd in attendance.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer held his first regularly scheduled press briefing, two days after he entered the room, read an angry statement disputing media reports about crowds size at the inauguration, and left without taking questions.

Spicer answered a wide range of questions, from the administration’s plans regarding Obamacare to fighting Islamic State (IS, formerly known as ISIS/ISIL) to no longer participating in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement.

Less than 24 hours being sworn in, Donald Trump declared the first war of his presidency — on the media.

Going to the CIA’s headquarters on Saturday morning, Trump immediately brought up the “dishonest media,” transitioned into praise for the agency that he said was going to destroy ISIS, and then resumed trashing the press: first for saying he didn’t get along with America’s spies (he called “Nazis” last week), and then for the inaugural coverage.

“Investigative reporting has been dying. There’s no money for it. If I work on a piece for three months, while my paper is paying me, suppose at the end I come up dry? It happens. I can’t make my case. I’ve got nothing to show for it, and my paper is out whatever they’ve been paying me. They don’t like that. The other thing is, investigative work makes my bosses nervous. They don’t know where it’ll lead. Worst case, I might come up with something that’ll put the paper in a bad light. It’s like an intelligence agent in the field who wanders off the reservation. He’s got an assignment, but he sees something better, more important, and that’s where he goes. He ends up finding out something about his own agency. Something bad. I’ve seen that happen. A reporter finds out his own paper has been covering up a heavy scandal. It’s an intrinsic part of the story. What’s he going to do now? Go to his editor and tell him what’s going on? Chances are, his editor already knows.

He is rich enough, and independent enough, and cantankerous enough that he may not get stuck in the swamps of political compromise.

Donald Trump’s inaugural address is going to go down in history as one of the great ones.I say this as a man with 59 years of public speaking experience and a Ph.D. in American history.

Trump’s speech was different from any previous inaugural address. He spoke directly to his political base. He did not try to pull the country together in some kind of vague, pie-in-the-sky, common-ground political rhetoric. He threw down the gauntlet from the very beginning. Standing in front of the Capitol building, surrounded by former Presidents and politicians, he said that everything they had done in the past has been a way to extract power from the American people and to feather their own nests. This, of course, is exactly what they have done. Nobody had ever said this before in an inaugural address.

All we really have is the truth. Individually, we have neither money nor power, and because truth is our only viable weapon in this war of public opinion, it cannot be compromised, or we'll have nothing.

Lies must constantly be exposed and corrected, so we can slowly refine the common knowledge of what did and didn't happen regarding any particular historic event. Only then can we learn from history rather than suffer it again, and only through discussion and the exposure of lies can we accurately relearn history ourselves.

“When we now know that all claims for war with Iraq were known lies as they were told (and verbally explained here), and CNN provides similar innuendo for war by an unsourced alleged report with concerns of what might occur in the future allegedly stated by an unnamed US source reporting on an unnamed foreign source, this is propaganda and not news.”

The corporate media faces an uphill battle against the Independent Media. The corporate media, trapped by its business model of lying for profit, cannot start telling the truth. All they can do is try to sabotage the credibility of the Independent Media and so it is hardly surprising that some well-worn "poison the well" hoaxes are once again being planted online, such as "no plane at the Pentagon", Chemtrails, HAARP, The Earth is really flat, and of course, the claim that Apollo was faked.

I am rather surprised (and disappointed) that Zerohedge ran this story!

Donald Trump began his first full week as US president firmly on the defensive, after millions of Americans took to the streets to protest against his election and the White House came under fire for brazenly lying to the public.

It’s time to stop the left-wing media’s incessant “fake news” lying and its deliberate acts of “journo-terrorism” that seek to undermine America. Here are 10 fantastic ideas for the Trump administration to de-legitimize the lying left-wing media while promoting the independent media and all the whistle blowers inside federal agencies who are ready to go public.

America cannot flourish if the national psyche is being incessantly assaulted by a malicious left-wing media intent on destroying the Republic. Here are ten powerful ways to win the war against anti-American forces inside the media and defend the Republic against domestic enemies:

In this classic 2012 clip, Jeremy Roth-Kushell, a longtime activist who has famously confronted many politicians over the years, had a chance to question Congressman Ron Paul live on C-SPAN during his 2012 Presidential run. Jeremy began with some compliments and accolades to Paul and then continued, "As we know, every single war that is started by the United States of America is done through fraudulent and deceptive initiating events. (Ron Paul nods in agreement.) And so this era, it was September 11th. And you took an oath to honor the constitution that includes against domestic enemies. And under article 3 section 3 of the constitution, it's clear that the fraudulent nature of the September 11th attacks are treason, and it goes to the bowels of our National Security complex and to the likudnik operatives who have infested many of the high positions in the Pentagon and that would include people like Michael Chertoff..." At 5hat point the C-SPAN anchor cuts him off and asks Dr.

A concealed carry permit holder stopped an armed robber Sunday at a San Antonio, Texas mall after the perpetrator shot and killed an unarmed man.

According to News 4 San Antonio, two armed men tried to rob Kay Jewelers at the Rolling Oaks Mall just after 3:30 p.m. local time.

An unarmed Good Samaritan attempted to intervene to stop the robbery but was shot and killed by one of the suspects. Another man with a firearm shot and injured the suspect who allegedly killed the unarmed man.

The following video is a compilation of testimonies taken from Syrian civilians, finally liberated from almost five years of Nusra Front-led terrorist occupation of all districts of East Aleppo. The unadulterated, unedited, uncensored voices of the Syrian people, released from Nusra Front aka Al Qaeda jail in East Aleppo, finally given a platform instead of corporate media’s terrorist propaganda amplification and “regime change” narrative monopoly.

A Reuters editor defended his photographer’s disputed image of an underwhelming crowd to witness President Trump's inauguration, the same photo that enraged the new administration the following morning.

Is nothing sacred these days? Are there no issues at all that the Democrats don’t operate using a complete double standard? After all the Democrat whining prior to Election Day about how “dangerous” it was for Donald Trump to even suggest he might not instantly accept the voting results, since Hillary’s defeat, we’ve had what will soon to be three full-months of non-stop excuses for why the far-left shouldn’t have to accept Donald Trump as President of the United States!

First the Democrats blamed Hillary’s loss on “Russian hacking,” then they tried using threats to get electors to change their electoral votes from Trump to Hillary, and every day since it seems like Democrats are complaining about something new. Recently on Inauguration Day, there were “protests” around the country that eventually turned violent and destructive, injuring plenty of innocent people in their paths.

The latest from CNN is that "love for Obamacare" is at an all-time high. It reeks of Fake News. Do you like Obamacare? Know anyone who does? Everyone we know loathes it – for both practical as well as moral reasons. Yet CNN – and other – “mainstream” organs – are singing in harmony that the same public which favored Hillary by huge margins is also in love with the Not Affordable Care Act.

Whether you agree or disagree with their messages, one thing is for sure; the loosely associated international network of activist and hactivist entities known as Anonymous has been extremely vocal over the last year issuing a series of messages to global citizens, and warnings to various governments.

Recently, on January 20th, Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, and as you might imagine, Anonymous has a few things to say about it. I have not always agreed with many of the messages Anonymous has published in recent months, but this one in particular I believe is right on the money. The video opens with the trademark computer synthesized voice saying:

Yesterday, we allowed the press into the Oval Office to witness the signing of executive orders and what happens almost immediately - a falsehood is told about removing the bust of Martin Luther King Jr - that's just flat-out false."

"I'm thrilled that all of a sudden NBC News and Chuck Todd is so focused on covering crowd control, because we were mocked daily for talking about the historic significance of the size of the crowds at our rallies during the campaign... on great days were ignored, and on most days we were mocked."

"You want the American people to think they can't trust The White House press secretary, that's a very dangerous statement to make. Your job is to report the news, not to give your opinion, you're not an opinion columnist."

The former UK Independence Party (UKIP) leader has a new job as contributor for the US television network Fox News. The controversial British politician will appear on both daytime and prime-time programs on the network and its sister channel Fox Business.

“First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. And then you win.” ~ unsourced, and attributed to Gandhi’s analysis of British empire response to having their hypocrisy exposed: claiming to bring Christian love and progress while looting resources with forced local labor.

When Left-wing extremist Democrats are in power, they often change longstanding rules just so they can get their way.

One of the most recent examples proving this was when then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid invoked the so-called “nuclear option” in 2010 so the Democrat Senate majority could bypass the longstanding 60-vote threshold and usher in Obamacare. The same technique was employed by Reid afterward to help Obama appoint radically Leftist judges to the federal bench.

That’s how Leftists operate. If they win elections, they call it ‘the will of the people.’ They use the Constitution when it suits them, and the federal courts when they don’t get their way. When you hear of “obstructionism” in Washington, D.C., the most prolific and skilled practitioners are Democrats and their Left-wing allies in the bureaucracy.

Could 21st century capitalism dump imperialism? Maybe.
Just hours ago Donald Trump was finally sworn in as the President of the United States. Considering all the threats hanging over this event, this is good news because at least for the time being, the Neocons have lost their control over the Executive Branch and Trump is now finally in a position to take action.

The other good news is Trump’s inauguration speech which included this historical promise “We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow”. Could that really mean that the USA has given up its role of World Hegemon? The mere fact of asking the question is already an immensely positive development as nobody would have asked it had Hillary Clinton been elected.

Read here for facts on Iran's verified compliance with all treaty-required safeguards for lawful use of nuclear energy. Current US funding for Israel's lie-started and Orwellian-illegal War of Aggression on Gaza is ~$10 million each and every day. Trump on Iran and Israel for five minutes:

Israel’s War of Aggression on Gaza:

It’s worth ten minutes of reading to distinguish game-changing facts from constant media and “official” spin lying to justify unlawful War of Aggression by Israel on Gaza. Given the public’s general confusion, the following alternative media reporting is crucial to understand because it contrasts the lack of reporting from corporate media and US political “leadership.” This is a central cause of US political collapse because Americans have crippled capacity to access the most important and comprehensive facts:

What do you get what you mix a conversation about “Generation Snowflake” with their disregard for authority, and their reliance on “safe spaces,” discussion about possible lead-ins to a global nuclear war, the looming global economic crisis, Vladimir Putin, the Clinton death list, paying people to protest, and of course… “fake news?”

You get a fascinating interview between myself and John B. Wells, former host on Coast to Coast AM, and current host of Caravan to Midnight. We dive into just about every controversial topic of the day, and pull no punches in the process! So, if I may quote another famous radio host, George Knapp:

My name is The Voice of Reason, your occasional host, your designated driver of the airwaves, and moderator of tonight’s upcoming cacophony of conversation. Glad to be with you once again…”

Sit back, put on your jammies, grab a cup of coffee, and get ready for one heck of an interview….

If truth can be said, President Trump has declared a war far more dangerous to himself than if he had declared war against Russia or China.

Trump made it abundantly clear that Americans’ enemies are right here at home: globalists, neoliberal economists, neoconservatives and other unilateralists accustomed to imposing the US on the world and involving us in endless and expensive wars, politicians who serve the Ruling Establishment rather than the American people, indeed, the entire canopy of private interests that have run America into the ground while getting rich in the process.

The group responsible for planning the #DisruptJ20 movement has already made it very clear in a direct statement that can be found on their website, the rioting and civil disobedience that began during Trump’s inauguration is only the beginning of their resistance to Trump's presidency.

In the following video, I discuss the precedent being set by these far-left “protests” if order is not restored, and restored fast, because there is clearly a double standard in play, rather than a uniform set of laws to govern all Americans, regardless of political affiliation. Why the concern? Specifically, the #DisruptJ20 website says:

"#DisruptJ20 will be the start of the resistance. We must take to the streets and protest, blockade, disrupt, intervene, sit in, walk out, rise up, and 'make more noise and good trouble than the establishment can bear.'"

With the title 'nobody expected that spectacle', the Dutch state journal NOS (paid by taxes) claims that half a million people marched to Capitol Hill today, more people than attended Trump's inauguration yesterday. Some whorenalist even compares it to the unexpected turnout at Woodstock. But judging from those pictures, the crowd was between 15000 and 20000 strong, and that's being very generous. The BS story is going viral in Belgium and the Netherlands.

A New York Post sports writer has tweeted a comparison between the election of Donald Trump and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington DC. He has since apologized for the tweet and deleted it.

On the bright side, perhaps we’ll have the breakthrough into Truth and Love we all work for. I’m confident that none of my colleagues have any grasp on reality that excludes this desirable outcome.

But with appropriate dismissal of false hope to predict beyond what we can see, by any objective measure Earth’s environment for human self-expression of virtue is the inverse of what we’re told by “leaders.” Humans attempt to “live” under these tragic-comic conditions:

The US isn’t a limited government under the best constitution constructed, but a devolved rogue state empire chief among “developed” and “former colonial” powers annually killing millions, harming billions, and looting trillions. I state this objective factual claim as a professional educator, and among colleagues with zero known evidence of anyone refuting this Emperor’s New Clothes reality.

A Saturday Night Live writer has been blasted for declaring 10-year-old Barron Trump will become 'this country's first homeschool shooter' in a now deleted tweet.
Katie Rich fired off the tweet on Inauguration Day, only to delete it three hours later and set her account to private after she faced a barrage of criticism.
The comedy writer was branded 'scum' by Twitter users who called for her account to be blocked while others urged NBC to fire her.

Webmaster's Commentary:

A memo to Katie Rich; going after a President's policies, if you don't believe they work for the good of the people, and have the facts on your side, using humor is commendable; but going after the 10 year old son of a President in such a vile way?!?

In spite of everything they could do for her, their candidate has lost, so you might think that at this late date The Washington Post would give a rest to the story that came out of Fayetteville, North Carolina, last March. That is the one that did a lot to sell the American public on the notion that Donald Trump and his supporters were racists, but The Post would not leave ill enough alone. On the last day of 2016, apparently with the belief that fanning the flames of racial discord and vilifying white Southerners has no season, let loose with what one would hope would be its last attempt to milk rancor out of the so-called “sucker-punch” incident entitled: “He was assaulted and called un-American at a Trump rally. Can he forgive the man who did it?”

Despite the yuge gathering, many people shared side-by-side photos on social media to show Trump's crowd compared to Obama's first crowd back in 2009. The shots appear to show a much thinner crowd at Trump's inauguration. But keep in mind photos from earlier in the day can make it look way emptier than it actually was by the time Trump was taking the oath of office.

Here's the crowd at Obama's inauguration in 2009 and at Trump's on Friday:

NBC News is the next news network to get smashed by Donald Trump. NBC is now being called “Fake News.” The liberal media and the Democrats are trying really, really hard to prove that Trump is an illegitimate President.

Whenever The New York Times or some other mainstream news outlet holds itself out as a paragon of professional journalism – by wagging a finger at some pro-Trump “fake news” or some Internet “conspiracy theory” – I cringe at the self-delusion and hypocrisy.

CNN has been accused of inciting violence against Donald Trump after the network said an Obama appointee would take over if the president-elect was killed at his inauguration.

Wednesday's startling report, titled 'Disaster could put Obama appointee in Oval Office,' speculated on what might happen if Trump, Mike Pence and the Congressional leaders were all killed during the ceremony.

During the segment they also used scenes from ABC show 'Designated Survivor', which depicts what would happen if the Capitol building - the venue for Trump's swearing in - was bombed and the Commander-in-chief killed.

Fake news has been a hot topic recently. All sides of the political sound and fury surrounding the recent presidential election have leveled charges and counter-charges against their opponents in this regard. Democrats, embracing a newfound, touchingly naive faith in the CIA and the other agencies of the so-called intelligence community, have claimed that the Russians hacked the Democratic strategists’ electronic files, released the information gained thereby, and hence influenced the election in Trump’s favor, costing Clinton the victory she so amply deserved.

American law enforcement and intelligence agencies are examining intercepted communications and financial transactions as part of a broad investigation into possible links between Russian officials and associates of President-elect Donald J. Trump, including his former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, current and former senior American officials said.

Neil Patel served as Dick Cheney's right hand man and even represented Cheney at meetings during Bush's reign. Patel is set to help Kushner, who has become a key Trump advisor, on the Middle east conflict. Here is a photo of Patel with Cheney from The U.S. National Archives, and also a photo of Patel with Karl Rove going way back to 2003. Trump often describes Kushner as 'very smart,' but the director of Harvard's college preparatory program at the time described Kushner's admission as "an unusual choice for Harvard to make" given that he was "not anywhere near the top of his class." Kushner's felon daddy donated $2.5 million dollars to Harvard prior to Kushner's admission. Last summer at a Town Hall Q&A, a very polite elderly gentleman told Donald trump that "I'm opposed to wasting our military in the Middle East on behalf of Zionist Israel.

In a surprise move, RT (formerly known as Russia Today) has been banned from posting articles, photos, and videos to Facebook. The ban was instituted yesterday after RT allegedly ran a pirated stream of Obama’s last press conference. The ban is scheduled to be lifted at 2:35pm ET on Saturday, the day after Trump’s inauguration.

January 11, 2017. The day not-my-President-elect Donald Trump had a Hollywood-worthy showdown with the media during his first press conference in five months. The only thing missing was the cheesy soundtrack from a Sergio Leone Spaghetti western. We’ll give this one to Trump. The losers? CNN, its reporter Jim Acosta and the entire 4th estate. What happens next will determine whether the media survives the Trump era and continues to play a central role in American politics and daily life, or if it limps away a sad broken footnote in the most bizarre, divisive administration in history.

There is no proof here that there is a child sex-ring operating out of a DC pizza parlor. Investigators have already proven that there is nothing to the story, right? Well, actually, no; and that's what you need to know.

For all that is here, there has not been single public investigation of any of this... not from the local police, not from the FBI. No one. And that has to be the big question: Not for the Podestas or pizza parlor owners, but for law enforcement. Why hasn't any investigation taken place?

RT has been blocked from posting content to its Facebook page. The ban, according to the Facebook bot, will last until Saturday 10:55pm Moscow time (2:55pm EST) and will extend across US president-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration.

UPDATE: After about 20 hours, Facebook has restored RT's ability to post live streams, images, and videos to the over four million followers of its page on the social network.

President Barack Obama shook the media world Tuesday by announcing he is commuting the 35-year prison sentence of US Army leaker Chelsea Manning. While responses on his actions are split, with some calling it “joyous news” and others–including a writer from a putatively liberal outfit like Media Matters–insisting she was “a traitor, not a whistleblower,” the build-up to Obama’s decision was uniform: Major print media almost completely igno

Tech-assisted gaslighting is destroying truth, justice and the American way. Can anything be done?

Webmaster's Commentary:

Social/Independent media has actually restored Democracy by bringing back the open sharing of ideas and diverse viewpoints. This is a threat to the corporate media, whose job it is to maintain the status quo while assuring us that we are still a democracy despite the obvious election fraud that took place during the Democratic primaries and the general election, and to the political elites, whose lies, frauds, and deceptions (such as Saddam's weapons of mass destruction) are being exposed.

Read the other comments to this article. The public isn't buying the idea that social/independent media is a threat to democracy.

Whenever there’s a bigs story in the media, look for the story they’re trying to distract you from! Anyone who’s watched the mainstream media, or been on social media during the last two days, has almost certainly seen the dozens of headlines reading something like, “Ads in Two Dozen Cities Offer Protesters Up to $2,500 to Agitate at Trump Inaugural.”

As you’ll see in the article below from TownHall.com (with video from "Tucker Carlson Tonight"), on Tuesday the mainstream media did a quick about-face, and claimed the ads previously reported are allegedly now all part of a big hoax… or are they? Could they have just been a decoy to distract the public, or buy a some extra time in order keep people off the scent of whatever is really going on? Conspiracy nonsense right? Follow along…

A man by the name of Dominic Puopolo Jr., 51, who claims to be a ‘C.I.A. agent’ in at least one video posted online was arrested by Miami Beach police Tuesday, after allegedly making a death threat against President-elect Donald Trump via twitter earlier this week.

The suspect is being held without bail and was arrested for ‘threatening to harm a public servant.’

Ever since the beginning of the crisis in Syria, the Western corporate media has cited various “activists” inside the country which conveniently all reported back towing the desired propaganda of the State Department. But the word “activists” could always simply be translated to mean “terrorists” since the “activists” were actually gun-toting fighters funded, organized, and directed by the West, NATO, GCC, and Israel...

Award winning BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg has been reprimanded by the BBC Trust for inaccurately reporting Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn’s views on shoot-to-kill policies in the aftermath of the Paris attacks.

The Trust concluded that Kuenssberg breached the BBC’s impartiality and accuracy guidelines at a time of “extreme national concern,” but insisted there was no evidence of bias or of intent on the part of the journalist.

In the movie Hidden Figures Americans are being brainwashed with the Fake History that we couldn’t have made it to the moon without sassy black women doing the math. Paul Kersey has already pointed out that the flight path trajectory was actually developed by a white Southerner, Dr. Jack Crenshaw. But there’s an even more Politically Incorrect truth: we couldn’t have done it without Germans—specifically, Nazi rocket scientists. For that matter, we probably couldn’t have launched the Star Wars anti-missile program and won the Cold War. I know. I was there. And the shameful treatment America meted out to one of those scientists, Arthur Rudolph, troubles me to this day.

CIA was bluffing, produced no evidence – Russians did not “hack” the election. Is this the beginning of the end of the Deep State in the USA? Can Trump clean house & wage peace?

Aided by enormous restraint on the part of Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, the soft coup in the USA has collapsed. Not only has the US Intelligence Community (US IC) lost all semblance of credibility with incoming President Donald Trump, but the blackmail by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham has been revealed by investigative journalist Wayne Madsen.

The speech was long on scaremongery and war rhetoric and short on 'fact', as The Wall Street Journal reports, Mr. Biden said cooperation between the U.S. and Europe formed “the bedrock of the success the world enjoyed in the second half of the 20th century."

It’s reported that a wealthy unnamed opponent of Trump hired a private firm, Fusion GPS, to collect potentially compromising data about the next US president as early as September 2015, shortly after the announcement of Donald Trump entering the US presidential race, The New York Times notes.

...

The only problem is that Western media sources, while making these wild allegations, have unwillingly compromised the identity of the “mysterious” donor – George Soros.

Every major intelligence agency in the country has reached the same conclusion: Russian hackers engaged in cyber attacks with the express purpose of helping Donald Trump win the election. They operated at the directive of Russian President Vladimir Putin, apparently motivated by his hatred for Clinton. As secretary of state, Clinton was “by far the most aggressive and outspoken” American official to counter Putin’s efforts to expand his global reach, famously criticizing him for undermining his own elections and likening him publicly to Hitler.

Hopefully better late than never, the media – at least its academics if not quite yet its practitioners – may be starting to stand up and speak out. To date, the Orange Travesty has been so busy bullying, belittling, threatening libel and possibly banishing them to White House broom closets to make room for “sycophants and propagandists,” and media outlets have been so panicked by the onslaught, that almost 300,000 people have signed a petition demanding the White House Press Corps grow a set, do their job, and support colleagues when the bullier-in-chief lambasts them for it.

This morning, I discovered that I was suddenly unilaterally banned on ALL, not just 1 or 2, I mean ALL forums and comment sections. This is not just GLP, which locks everyone of positive influence out leading up to important events, I mean it is ALL OF THEM. I have never been banned anywhere before. I don't post stuff from this web site anywhere and play it cool everywhere. If anyone else has been banned everywhere, it needs to be news. And I noticed that everything was totally dry, with little to no support for Trump anywhere, when there is usually huge support.

“A writer,” the journalist Martha Gellhorn told the second congress, “must be a man of action now . . . A man who has given a year of his life to steel strikes, or to the unemployed, or to the problems of racial prejudice, has not lost or wasted time. He is a man who has known where he belonged. If you should survive such action, what you have to say about it afterwards is the truth, is necessary and real, and it will last.”

The liberal media has been reporting all week that Donald Trump will head into his inauguration with the “worst approval rating in 40 years”. The numbers come from a Washington Post poll that has been caught once again deceiving the public by oversampling Democrats.

On the 10th January 2017, the Independent’s headline was – “Assad ‘dropped 13,000 barrel bombs on Syria in 2016’, watchdog claims” . So according to this headline, Syrian president, Bashar Al Assad, personally dropped 13, 000 (equivalent to) atom bombs on his own country and people in 12 months.

On the eve of his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump is preparing to lead a nation that supports key elements of his economic agenda but still harbors deep reservations about his character and temperament, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds.

Webmaster's Commentary:

A reminder that the very same Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll insisted Hillary would win in a landslide!

More Americans say they admire President Barack Obama than any other man in the world, according to Gallup's annual survey, beating out President-elect Donald Trump to top the list for the ninth consecutive year.

After last week’s scandal with Trump dossier, CNN and BuzzFeed plan to publish yet another incriminating file regarding the incoming President of the United States. This time, they are about to publish the tape about 48 hours before the inauguration.

In 1931, at the age of 17, she was a cub reporter for the “New York Evening Journal.” At age 23, she was the first woman “to fly around the world on commercial airlines.” In 1937, she wrote the screenplay for the film, “Fly Away Baby.” She had a cameo role in the Hollywood flick, “Sinner Take All,” and her moniker is enshrined on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Her name is Dorothy Mae Kilgallen and she broke the glass ceiling for women in her chosen profession.

I've been following Rand Paul's statements on "repealing and replacing Obamacare" for some time. But one fundamental point that no politician has directly answered: Is health insurance going to continue to be compulsory in America or not? Most conservatives and all libertarians agree that the government should NOT compel anyone to buy any product, including health insurance or even auto insurance. That is the fundamental issue.
